check out this site Willy, lots of stuff to spend $ on, has some good deals on the 6.5 ball ammo
http://www.samcoglobal.com/
btw, they have hte orignal bayonets, slings, and ammo pouches to got with your mauser


I've been thinking about picking up one of these
https://www.samcoglobal.com/1-1916.html its rechambered in 308
the K31's are nice, but they've gone up a bit, and the 7.5 Swiss isn't cheap to shoot

Hey Willy, the oldest gun in my collection is a type 30 Japanese long rifle she's in 6.5x50. I had it for about 6 years and I've never shot it. Might have to get me rounds. This is gun is very popular and common but what seperates this one from others is that it still has the emperors cresanthenim stamped on the reciever. The Emperor of Japan demanded all "emperors stamps" or cresanthenim be grinded off the recievers to save face after there loss in WWII. Meaning most of the ones in the states with emperors stamp were brought home by G.I.'s off of the battle field. Just a little history for ya. Funny thing is the bayonet I have that goes with this gun is worth more than the gun itself!!!
